Prerequisites
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
To use the LBRYWallet, which enables spending and accepting LBRYcrds in exchange for data, the
|
|
LBRYcrd application (insert link to LBRYcrd website here) must be installed and running. If
|
|
this is not desired, the testing client can be used to simulate trading points, which is
|
|
built into LBRYnet.
|
|
|
|
on Ubuntu:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
sudo apt-get install libgmp3-dev build-essential python-dev python-pip
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Getting the source
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
Don't you already have it?
|
|
|
|
Setting up the environment
|
|
--------------------------
|
|
|
|
It's recommended that you use a virtualenv
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
sudo apt-get install python-virtualenv
|
|
cd <source base directory>
|
|
virtualenv .
|
|
source bin/activate
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
(to deactivate the virtualenv, enter 'deactivate')
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
python setup.py install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
this will install all of the libraries and a few applications
|
|
|
|
For running the file sharing application, see [RUNNING](RUNNING.md)
|
|
|
|
#### On windows:
|
|
|
|
Install [mingw32](http://www.mingw.org/) base and c++ compiler.
|
|
|
|
Add C:\MinGW\bin to the windows PATH.
|
|
|
|
Enable distutils to compile with mingw32 by creating a distutils.cfg file in *PYTHONPATH\Lib\distutils* containing
|
|
```
|
|
[build]
|
|
compiler = mingw32
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If using virtualenv, copy the *PYTHONPATH\Lib\distutils* directory to the virtualenv.
|
|
|
|
It's recommended to use [Unofficial Windows Binaries for Python Extension Packages](http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/) for as many of the required packages as possible.
|
|
Currently, available binaries include:
|
|
- Cython
|
|
- Twisted
|
|
- Zope.interface
|
|
- pywin32
|
|
- Yapsy
|
|
- cx_Freeze
|
|
- requests
|
|
- gmpy
|
|
|
|
Install the each of the preceding binaries with `pip install *.whl`
|
|
|
|
Install pywin32 system files by run `python.exe Scripts\pywin32_postinstall.py -install` from an elevated command prompt.
|
|
|
|
Install the rest of the required modules with the standard `pip install module` command
|
|
|
|
The one module which requires additional work is [miniupnpc](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/miniupnpc/1.9).
|
|
Download the source and compile with MinGW by running `mingw32make.bat`
|
|
Then install the module by running `python setupmingw32.py install`
